“No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or emotional appeal.”| Marilyn Ferguson
This is a beautiful visual – guarding a gate or change. It brought me right back to the Adlerian idea of “separation of tasks.”
Change happens only at that intersection of willingness and ability.
The teacher we seek will appear… when we’re ready.
